Tv didn't work. Room was not completely clean. Air con leaked outside and water was on path coming in the door.
Convenient location, restaurant staff were very friendly. Pet friendly property.
Needs much TLC
Girl on reception was awesome, location to everything was good
The landing our room was on next door was flooded,there was an empty can outside our room,power points all dumped in one spot,lighting was dim,the beds and pillows were too soft and there was no blanket.Place looks tired and worn down,needs some TLC.
Location is right on the Strand. Room was very clean and bed was the most comfortable i have had for a long time. Staff were hospitable and very efficient. Would definitely stay again.
Everything budget friendly, close to beach, neat and clean, friendly staff.
The main thing for me is the comfort of the bed and the ability to make a light meal. Everything I needed was there and the bed was terrific.
The bathroom alcove could be improved with a bit more space to put things, but the water was hot and the flow great.
The bed, lighting, couch, table, everything
Staff were absolutely friendly, spacious room, incredible location
Clean, convenient, comfortable.

Property was on the esplanade
No set parking so when we returned to the property my partner who was disabled and needed to access the room easily was unable to get easy access. When we enquired why we couldn’t park in the room we were advised that there was no set parking despite having a disability pass
Didn’t have breakfastStaff always friendlyGreat value for moneyGreat location
Staff were lovely and super friendly.
Noisy location. Lots of foot traffic past room during the night.
Not much
No dog bed. The toilet seat kept slipping over. No ice in the tray. The bed rolls all over if you lean against the wall. No table outside it is what it is. Dog friendly opposite the beach for $129. Other places we stayed my dog had a single bed and a very small yard to play in. But more expensive. Would we stay again? No
Loved the location which made it easy for us to lug the kids around. Was good that they had laundromat within the Motel facilities. Beds were comfortable. The utilities in our room was perfect for a couple of nights stay.
Just the overall cleanliness of the room wasnt great. We had alot of tiny ants everywhere even though we checked in straight after the cleaners were done. We sprayed the place but the ants were back the next morning. Lots of dust everywhere.
Large family room. Beds were super comfortable
Air con leaked water onto bedPillows were too thin
The motel was clean, easy to find and great location
